The slow cooker takes an already-simple classic recipe and makes it even easier. Simply toss cut russet potatoes, butter and a touch of salt and pepper into a slow cooker, turn it on low and walk away for a few hours. When you return, the potatoes will be perfectly tender and ready to be mashed. Best of all, the slow cooker traps all the potato flavor, making these spuds extra potatoey.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or to taste
3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the potatoes, garlic, and bouillon until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving water. In a bowl, mash potatoes with sour cream and cream cheese, adding reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.
  • Transfer the potato mixture to a slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours. Just before serving, stir in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Start with the highest quality potatoes you can find: Look for firm, unblemished potatoes with smooth, thin skin. Avoid potatoes that are green or have sprouts, as these are signs of spoilage.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not mash smoothly.
  • Add plenty of liquid: The liquid will help the potatoes cook and prevent them from becoming dry. You can use water, broth, or milk, or a combination of these liquids. If you are using milk, be sure to add it towards the end of the cooking time to prevent it from curdling.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some popular additions include garlic, rosemary, thyme, and paprika.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done when they are easily pierced with a fork. If you are using a slow cooker, cook the potatoes on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: You can use a potato masher, a ricer, or a food processor to mash the potatoes. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the potatoes, as this can make them gluey.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot, but they can be reheated in the microwave or oven if necessary.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean slow-cooker mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, flavorful, and packed with healthy ingredients. The slow cooker makes them a breeze to prepare, and they can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give this recipe a try.
